About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1700 Platte Street Parking facility, operated by LAZ Parking, is an underground, climate-controlled parking structure serving the landmark 1700 Platte commercial development in Denver’s vibrant Central Platte Valley / Lower Highlands (LoHi) corridor. Situated directly along the western bank of the South Platte River, this modern garage provides clean, covered, and highly secure spaces. The facility easily accommodates compact vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and standard full-size SUVs. Drivers of oversized vehicles, commercial high-roof vans, or pickup trucks with elevated roof racks or aftermarket lifts should heed the posted entrance height clearance (standard 7\'0\" clearance limit), as vertical clearance within the garage is strictly enforced.
